Wow what a month September was... Crazy busy at work editing the Indian National TB Strategic Plan requiring I play McKinsey consultant role of project managing a dozen busy folks for about 10 long meetings to agree among themselves on content, nudging 4 very busy physician/public health folks who were tasked with writing and scrambling a team of good writers to edit these chapter for structure, consistency and readablility. The last week was particularly crazy given that Delaney was back in DC on a media tour and I needed to negotiate the final stages of our lease. I turned it in to the TB program just in time for ...
MOVING DAY ...
Before they could unload, we had to wait for the fruit vendors who were in mid-transaction to roll onward... Won't they be welcome though come mango season.
They really were inpressive, in a whirlwind things appreared, almost all appreciated (well not the loft bed of chase's as held bve decapitaed by the cieling fan anytime he sat up).
Then the man said they were done and to sign the paperwork. Fortunately, everything seemed to fit and we haven't brough too much...At which point we realized we were missing the couch, and parts of all the beds, and the bikes - 29 items in all ... Well many calls later it seemed that it may not have been shipped... UGH!!!

| The truck with out stuff - a long drive from Seattle |
We started early with the truck arriving on time. It was exciting since we had pretty much forgotten what we packed 2 1/2 months ago.
Before they could unload, we had to wait for the fruit vendors who were in mid-transaction to roll onward... Won't they be welcome though come mango season.

Just a I was prepared to get used to sleeping on straw mattresses, they discovered that our second truck had been unpacked at different address, but was being repacked and would arrive soon! Without too much more fuss, all 176 items were delivered and boxes were partially unloaded and it was strange to see familiar things in a new venue... like an exhausted daughter!!!
Then off to buy a refridgerator, washing machine, microwave, oven and electric kettle for making tea!
